The Netflix Thread

[EyesWideOpen]

2 Days in New York and The Queen of Versailles are up.

[D_Davis]

I hope they get the old Disney Nature docs. Love those.

[number8]

The Loneliest Planet and Sleepwalk with Me.

[Dukefrukem]

Nice!

[number8]

For the DC fans, just added:

Justice League: Doom
Batman: Year One
All-Star Superman
Superman vs The Elite

Also, the previously gone Batman: Under the Red Hood, Suprman/Batman: Apocalypse and Superman/Shazam are all back.

[Neclord]

Oh sweet, definitely giving Year One and All-Star Superman a look.

[Skitch]

Awesome! Can't wait to watch Under The Red Hood again.

[EyesWideOpen]

They added Red Hook Summer for anyone who want's to watch the worst Spike Lee film ever made.

Netflix streaming appears to be down. Hopefully nobody had plans on streaming Christmas movies....

Torrenting Christmas Vacation to make up for it. Grumble.

Watched that one yesterday.

Classic.

[Watashi]

All of The West Wing is now on there.

All of The West Wing is now on there.

Best Christmas ever.

[Watashi]

I've never seen an episode. Is still worth watching even though it will be dated (politics wise)?.

It's back. Amazon AWS went down yesterday, taking a small part of the Internet with it - one of the drawbacks of stuff in the cloud.

[Lucky]

All of The West Wing is now on there.

That is enough for me to get Netflix again. Merry Christmas, self.

I'd say so. I don't like politics at all, but the characters and dialogue kept me engaged. It's also very funny in that Sorkin kind of way, of course. I can only vouch for the first three seasons, though. I hear it took a slight dip in quality after Sorkin left.

[EyesWideOpen]

Added: How to Survive a Plague

[EyesWideOpen]

One for the Money was added just in time for end of the year top ten lists.

[Derek]

One for the Money was added just in time for end of the year top ten lists.

That one looks like a shoe-in for MC's Top 10 Movies That Exist from 2012.

[Skitch]

Terminator 2, The Frightners, The Warriors, Planes Trains and Automobiles, The Usual Suspects, Red Lights, Wargames, The Untouchables, Sum Of All Fears, Iron Sky, Millers Crossing, Escape From Alcatraz, Star Trek: Nemesis, Sahara, Rosemarys Baby.

[number8]

Oh shit they added Blue Valentine.

Oh boy.

[eternity]

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

V/H/S

[number8]

Woah, major coup by Netflix. They signed a deal with Disney to have exclusive broadcast rights of all Disney movies starting in 2016, taking it away from Starz. First time this kind of deal is made with a streaming service rather than a cable channel.

And here's the retaliation.

HBO today has won a battle in the over-the-top content wars. The pay-TV giant has inked a deal with Universal Pictures that extends Universal Pictures’ and Focus Features’ films appearing on HBO’s TV, online and mobile platforms in the U.S. for the next decade. What’s key is that the deal is exclusive to HBO and will mean that Netflix (and other OTT players) will not get that content: “Yes, it is exclusive. Netflix can’t touch it,” a spokesperson told TechCrunch. HBO also has exclusive deals with Fox, Warner Bros, and Summit, in addition to Universal.
